Total Adrenaline!!!

My new scale came today!!!!! I love it and recommend it. It's nothing special, just a plain digital scale. It's by Eat Smart and you can find it on Amazon. I don't think it's carried at brick and mortar retail. I weighed myself, and happily discovered that I've lost 1.5 lb since my last weigh in. Happiness.

After a week of not blogging, I looked over my blog and realized that it's confusing. From now on, I will add more labels so you will know what I'm talking about.

the hardest part of this was the walking lunges at the beginning. As far as NTCs are concerned, I think this is the easiest one I've done so far. Either that, or my conditioning is getting pretty good.

Hundred pushups - week 3 day 1 - check my progress here. KILLED ME!!! Things started getting hard on the 3rd set. When I saw that for my last set, I needed to do at least 20 pushups, I was seriously concerned. Didn't think I would be able to do it. I ended up doing 28. Minor victories keep me going on.

I ate a chocolate bon bon, not that it's bad. But I just ate it because it was there. Plus, because I hardly eat sweets, I got a major headache post consumption. I also had a snack, that left me uncomfortably full but not stuffed. These all contributed to going over my calorie budget. Lesson learned, eat when hungry. If not hungry, don't eat.

I chose Total Adrenaline because it looked pretty easy. I broke a sweat but there was never a crazy struggle. Next time I do this, I will up the intensity by doing things a bit faster, but still controlled.
